From the Impresario of NBC's hit show The Apprentice Trump On Trump: "I like thinking big. I always have. To me it's very simple: if you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big." And here's how he does it: the art of the deal. Beginning with a week in Trump's high-stakes life, Trump: The Art of the Deal gives us Trump in action. We see just how he operates day to day-how he runs his business and how he runs his life-as he chats with friends and family, clashes with enemies, efficiently buys up Atlantic City's top casinos, changes the face of the New York City skyline ... and plans the tallest building in the world. Trump On Trump: "I play it very loose. I don't carry a briefcase. I try not to schedule too many meetings. I leave my door open. ... I prefer to come to work each day and just see what develops." Even a maverick plays by rules, and here Trump formulates his own eleven guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest deals; he shatters myths ("You don't necessarily need the best location. What you need is the best deal"); he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art: from the abandoned property that became the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center to the seedy hotel that became the Grand Hyatt; from the race to rebuild Central Park's Wollman Skating Rink to the byzantine saga of the property that became Trump Tower. And throughout, Trump talks-really talks-about how he does it. Trump On Trump: "I always go into a deal anticipating the worst. If you plan for the worst-if you can live with the worst-the good will always take care of itself." Donald Trump is blunt, brash, surprisingly old-fashioned in spots-and always, always an original. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the art of the deal. It's the most streetwise business book there is-and a sizzling read for anyone interested in money and success.

Work Description

The host and coproducer of the megahit reality show The Apprentice presents a unique collection of golf advice. From Palmer and Player, Mickelson and Vijay to Pat Boone, Stone Phillips, and even Yogi Berra, these players, teachers, businesspeople, and celebrities will help you play better and score lower. Everyone who plays golf has that little nugget of information they turn to on the course. But never before has such an array of golfing advice been pulled together in one place. Donald Trump, himself an avid--and very good--golfer, asked his friends, colleagues, and playing companions to offer thoughts on everything from the mental game to the swing to putting to playing golf the right way. And golfers being what they are, none could resist sharing words of wisdom.So here we find Vijay Singh telling us about playing simply: "You don't need to get your golf swing by going through video cameras and stuff like that. Just kind of go out there and find yourself." Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith talks about not overswinging: "Just learn to allow the club to do what it's supposed to do . . . because the ball is sitting still." Actor Michael Douglas has a specific routine to slow his tempo--he says his wife's name, and doesn't even think of starting to bring the club down until he gets to "Jones." Taken together, these more than two hundred entries create a unique handbook, covering every aspect of the game--and ranging from the lighthearted to the deadly serious. Donald Trump's book of advice is certain to take its place next to Harvey Penick's Little Red Book as the ultimate in golf instruction.From the Hardcover edition.
